Abstract

The aim of this research was to determine how the practice of football as an elective subject in schooling (within the physical education as a steady subject) influenced the students who opted for it, in comparison with the other group, the control group, who did not. For this purpose, 133 students were chosen, aged 19 years plus-minus 6 months, and these were divided into the first group and the second (control) group. The research lasted one year, and in it, 11 anthropometrics variables were applied (longitudinal and transversal dimensionality of the skeleton, volume and mass of the body, and subcutaneous fat tissue) and observed in the experimental period. During the research, the first group performed a specially designed program in football training, while the control group did not go to classes of physical education nor to any sports activity. On the basis of the results of multivariate analysis of the variables, and T-tests, it was found that, at that age, the football practice caused a transformation of several anthropometrics characteristics.
